Guided by Voices

[Bags]

I was up at the end of the bar right by the stage, wearing a black Fleshtones t-shirt.  And dancing a lot.  Then when Tommy mentioned the wedding, I requested "I Will Survive" because I'm a little bit of a goober (who drank a lot of heffeweisen) as well!
 
 I remember going to the Carlsonics Fort Reno show and thinking, "I know there are people from the Board here, but how on earth can I tell?  Maybe those hipsters over there, maybe those hipsters -- hell, maybe those parents with the hipster toddler behind me!"

  I wouldn't excactly call the Shins music to dance to. Probably one of the reasons I like them so much. I'd be fine if there was no dancing at any show I went to. Dancing is so gay.

I'm proud....to be....a gay show dancer!

Me too.
 
 I'm out of the closet; I'm a gay Indie show dancer!
 
 I looked for you Saturday night, Bags, put I had no idea exactly who I was looking for. Nice to have almost met you. [/b]

 In fact, I had wondered if that was you and almost asked but, no offense, I didn't want to ask the wrong person if they were Bags.  
 
 I was only a couple people away from you. The lady in red.

Yeah, Bags isn't the greatest nickname -- it's from High School.  When they passed a regulation that you can't use vanity plates on a business car and still deduct it, my Dad put the plates on my car.  My last name is Bagot, so....
 
 Hope I didn't embarrass myself too much!

Chris was ok, but I missed Tim, Nate did not seem to happy with him either.  I still had a good time.  Was not at the Black Cat show.
